Hi all!

I’ve been using RancherOS for years as the minimal OS to host all of my containers and it’s been working great. Until today.

I updated Redis to its latest version, and got some errors. After some investigation I found that in needs Docker 20 or higher to run. RancherOS has been abandoned, and the latest version you can install is 19.

Do you fine folks know something similar to RancherOS? Thanks!

      This is my plan B in case I can’t find a lightweight distro to replace RancherOS. Thanks!

          I tried this recently and it works pretty well! I haven’t migrate my RancherOS deployment yet though. Need tiny bit more testing.

          That’s what I’m using right now. I am kind of curious if you are aware of any apk using tiny operating systems like alpine but that also have systemd? I want to experiement with quadlets/podman but don’t really want to lose how simple alpine is to administer and how fast it boots.

    It runs entirely in RAM, administration is super simple, no ssh, easy to update/and upgrade, immutable, minimal distro designed specifically for secure container usage.

      This looks super interesting. Thanks! One question though; can I still use it if I don’t want to use Kubernetes? I just want to deploy a few containers here and there. I was thinking about moving everything to Kubernetes, but it seems a bit overkill for the 10 containers I have running.

    I’ve been playing around with MicroOS, which is based off of OpenSUSE and is supposed to be the successor to RancherOS

    I run a Debian LXC on my Proxmox server with Portainer to manage my Docker containers. It’s small and lightweight all told.

    If you want a gui to manage your containers, I use portainer (with debian as OS).
